Overview of this book

Java is one of the most commonly used software languages by programmers and developers. In this book, you’ll learn the new features of Java 11 quickly and experience a simple and powerful approach to software development. You’ll see how to use the Java runtime tools, understand the Java environment, and create a simple namesorting Java application. Further on, you'll learn about advanced technologies that Java delivers, such as web programming and parallel computing, and will develop a mastermind game. Moving on, we provide more simple examples, to build a foundation before diving into some complex data structure problems that will solidify your Java 11 skills. With a special focus on the features of new projects: Project Valhalla, Project Panama, Project Amber, and Project Loom, this book will help you get employed as a top-notch Java developer. By the end of the book, you’ll have a firm foundation to continue your journey toward becoming a professional Java developer.

Coding the sort

To implement the sorting, first, we will define the interfaces that the library should implement. Defining the interface before actually coding is a good practice. When there are many implementations, it is sometimes recommended to first create a simple one and start using it so that the interface may evolve during this development phase, and when the more complex implementations are due, then the interface is already fixed. In reality, nothing is fixed ever because there is no Archimedean point in programming.

Creating the interfaces

The interface in our case is very simple:

public interface Sort {
    void sort(Sortable collection);
}

The interface should do only one thing, sort something that is sortable...
